Abstract:
This work studied hybrid batteries assembled with a Mg metal anode, a Li(+) ion intercalation cathode and a dual-salt electrolyte containing Mg(2+) and Li(+) ions. We show that such hybrid batteries were able to combine the advantages of Li and Mg electrochemistry. They delivered outstanding rate performance (83% capacity retention at 15 C) with superior safety and stability (~5% fade for 3000 cycles).
